EDMONTON — Alberta RCMP say Mounties will be ready when recreational cannabis becomes legal in Canada on Wednesday. Brad Mueller said officers will use tried and true investigative techniques to detect people who are driving high, as well as new technology when it becomes available. They have increased their capacity in areas such as prevention, intelligence, security screening and training, he said. In Alberta, he said there are more than 400 officers trained to do the field testing and another 42 trained as drug recognition experts. Richard Nowak, a drug recognition expert, said they are able to determine whether a person is impaired by drugs with a 12-step process.
